  1. Technology Landscape - Wearable Health Monitoring Devices

  2. INTRODUCTION

  3. Background • A wearable medical device may be defined as a biosensor that monitors physiological data, usually with a remote/wireless communication, and as a part of any wearable item that is attached to the body. • These devices measure and analyze various vital parameters such as electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), body temperature, respiratory rate, glucose level, blood oxygen saturation etc. and provide medical professionals with comprehensive information while making diagnosis or monitoring a chronic medical condition. • Wearable medical devices are facilitated with features such as wireless data transmission, real time feedback, alerting mechanism, and more. They transmit data related to any disease marker and organ function to the user or physicians. Thus, offer an efficient care and reduce hospital based expenditure in the process. • Data generated by wearable devices, enabled with analysis is used by consumers for their better health management. It also helps pharmaceutical companies for conducting efficient clinical trials by gathering data remotely.

  12. Patent Landscape

  13. Scope and Consideration of Landscape Search • Objective To Perform Patent Landscape Study directed towards Wearable Health Monitoring Devices (Worldwide coverage for last 5 years i.e. considering patents published between 2012 and 2016) • Research Methodology • Step 1: Detailed analysis of publically available information to perform understanding of the technology domain. • Step 2: Identification of patent databases and keywords, synonyms and variations thereof, patent classification codes (IPC/CPC/US), Key inventors, Key assignees etc. to formulate search strings. • Step 3: Execution of broad search strings to unearth potentially relevant documents followed by their First-Pass Analysis (preliminary analysis) to remove any false positives. It includes data sanity checks to remove any duplicates (family member duplicates – by checking application numbers, family IDs and publication numbers). Note: All graphs are prepared based on details of one representative member per INPODAC family, and numbers in graphs, therefore, indicate the number of INPADOC patent families.
